    摘要: Disclosed is a lighting system capable of preventing damage to an outer-tube resulting from an outer-tube discharge that often occurs at the end of useful life of a lamp. The lighting system includes: a metal halide lamp having an arc tube housed within an outer tube; and a lamp .lighting device for operating the metal halide lamp. The lamp lighting device includes: a power supply unit operable to supply an electric power to the metal halide lamp; a detecting unit operable to detect an electrical property of the metal halide lamp; a judging unit operable to judge, based on the detected electrical property, whether a currently occurring discharge is an outer-tube discharge; and an instructing unit operable to instruct the power supply unit to suspend or reduce the electric power supply to the metal halide lamp upon a judgment that the currently occurring discharge is an outer-tube discharge. The detection unit detects a lamp voltage. The judging unit judges that the currently occurring discharge is an outer-tube discharge if the detected lamp voltage differs from a lamp voltage under normal operation.

    摘要: A high pressure discharge lamp includes an outer tubular bulb whose inner space is exhausted to a vacuum; an arc tube contained in the outer tubular bulb; and a voltage reducing switching element for reducing a voltage applied to the arc tube. The voltage reducing switching element includes a heat sensitive switching element and a starting-voltage reducing element which are connected in series. During a period in which the heat sensitive switching element has a predetermined temperature or higher, the heat sensitive switching element is closed to electrically connect the arc tube and the voltage reducing switching element in parallel, so that the starting-voltage reducing element is operated. During a period in which the heat sensitive switching element has a temperature lower than the predetermined temperature, the heat sensitive switching element is opened so that the starting-voltage reducing element is not operated.
